"AI 2030" ™ Unveils Responsible AI Pledge™ 2.0 and Global AI Regulation Index™ at Davos, Advancing Ethical AI and Global Governance."

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, January 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- AI 2030™, a leading nonprofit initiative driving the global Responsible AI movement, proudly announces the relaunch of the AI 2030 Responsible AI Pledge™ and the launch of the AI 2030 Global AI Regulation Index™ during the World Economic Forum 2025 in Davos.

With artificial intelligence reshaping industries and societies, the need for responsible regulation and accountable adoption has never been greater. AI 2030 is addressing this dual challenge by uniting public and private sector efforts to foster ethics, transparency, and innovation in AI development and deployment.

“Responsible AI requires responsible regulation from the public sector and responsible development and adoption by the private sector,” said Xiaochen Zhang, Executive Director, AI 2030. “The relaunch of our Responsible AI Pledge and the introduction of the Global AI Regulation Index at Davos aim to catalyze a global movement to ensure AI serves humanity while advancing innovation and equity.”

The Global AI Regulation Index provides a comprehensive evaluation of AI governance across G20 countries, benchmarking regulatory frameworks against four key dimensions: innovation promotion, individual rights protection, enforcement feasibility, and global interoperability. Developed in collaboration with global industry leaders and supported by esteemed professors, alongside promising young scholars from the same program at Cornell University, the Index is designed to be a pivotal resource for shaping balanced, effective, and forward-looking AI regulations.

The Index will prelaunch at the Future Skills Forum Asia in Singapore and officially launch during the G20 Summit Week in South Africa, signaling a milestone in advancing responsible AI governance globally.

The AI 2030 Responsible AI Pledge has been relaunched to better align with the evolving needs of corporations navigating the rapidly changing AI landscape. Built on six foundational pillars—accountability, privacy, transparency, fairness, safety, and sustainability—the Pledge empowers organizations to integrate ethical AI practices into their strategies while contributing to societal and environmental goals. Brett Mowry, AI 2030’s Head of Advisory Services revealed that “The Responsible AI Pledge program enables and advances foundational work on frameworks, stakeholder engagement, governance, and monitoring that ultimately drive the right innovation.”

"The relaunch of the Responsible AI Pledge and the introduction of the Global AI Regulation Index signal an important step forward to ensure AI is developed and deployed responsibly to foster inclusivity and equity," said Sudip Ranjan Basu, Chief of Sustainable Business Network, United Nations ESCAP. "These initiatives will play a vital role in leveraging innovation tools that benefit both people and the planet."

Through enhanced collaboration with the ESCAP Sustainable Business Network (ESBN), the Pledge will expand its impact across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. “South Africa is proud to host the official launch of the Global AI Regulation Index,” said Caitlin Nash, Golden Thread Markets Africa. “This milestone highlights the crucial role responsible AI plays in fostering inclusive innovation and sustainable growth in emerging economies and frontier markets, such as Africa.”
